The Next Word Students, here me, I must speak For the lessons I shall share Will set you on the road to wealth… Before the next word came her belch. © Dane Ann Smith-Johnsen January 19, 2010 Poetic form: Chastushka

Ah, quite a humorous scenario and this poem gave me a great laugh. Now, imagine doing this when you are competing in a public speaking contest! It's happened and it didn't seem so funny when it did. We're only human, after all. Love the way you are working with the chastushka form, so new to me but you mastered another one. Great work, my friend! Love, Carolyn
